I have chosen this topic because I find apartheid really interesting and I want to dig deeper in what apartheid is and what it did for sports and the difference Nelson Mandela made. Apartheid was a system of racial segregation in South Africa founded in 1948 to 1994. Under apartheid people were divided into groups of your race the biggest was black, white, colored and Asian. The majority of the black people were sent to their “native country” but in reality they never have seen that area. The purpose with the law was that black people there where living in a white area had no rights to vote or influence on the area they were living in. the only place where they had something near rights was in their “native country”. Education, doctors and other public things were also divided and the ones there were available for the blacks were in general worse than the ones the white people got. The black people couldn’t be out after sunset and they should always have a passport on them. The passport law made it illegal for black people to go on the white people areas. The black and colored should have id on them all time. “Group areas act” in 1950 became the heart in the apartheid system there geographical displayed races “Separate Amenties Act” in 1950 the most racist division. Separate parks, beaches, busses hospitals, schools and university. Sports under apartheid.

The sport was also divided between black and white. Lack of funds to provide proper equipment would be noticeable in regards to black amateur football matches, this revealed the unequal lives Africans were subject to, in contrast to Whites who were obviously much better off financially. Apartheid's social engineering made it more difficult to compete across racial lines, thus in an effort to centralise finances the federations merged in 1951, creating the South African Soccer Federation (SASF), which brought Black, Indian and Coloured national associations into one body that opposed apartheid. This...

...the Apartheid legislation had on SouthAfrica and explain how Nelson Mandela triumphed over it’
The Apartheid legislation was a system of governance that made a huge impact in SouthAfrica in the 20th century. It was introduced by the national party after they were elected in the 1948 election. It was a form of segregation that discriminated against the races in SouthAfrica. It was the law in SouthAfrica for 46 years. The Apartheid sparked lots of internal resistance with violent riots and protests taking place by groups of people. Nelson Mandela was a leading force in the opposition on Apartheid and did everything in his powers to destroy it. His voice was heard all over the country when he was the leader of Anti Apartheid movements and when he was in jail.
Apartheid Legislation had a detrimental impact on society in SouthAfrica. It was pioneered in 1948 by the newly appointed national party of SouthAfrica when they came to power. The struggle for the end of Apartheid was long lived as it lasted until 1994 when the National party lost the election. Apartheid was the segregation of the South African people into different race groups...

...EFFECTS OF APARTHEID IN SOUTHAFRICA.
Apartheid is a word from the Afrikaans that means segregation. True to the meaning of the word, South Africans suffered under it for decades. It was started by The National Party Government in 1948 when they came into power. They treated non-whites such as the Asians and the coloured who were of mixed race as second class citizens and Africans as non-citizens. Although the Asians and the coloured did not have many privileges, they were better off than the Africans who did not have any rights. Apart from that they confined Africans to their homelands and stripped them of their rights as citizens of SouthAfrica.
With the introduction of apartheid in SouthAfrica came the struggle against it both in and out of the country which was spearheaded by leaders were in and out the country and they also financed it. The ruling party also suffered a major blow when other countries and the international community failed to recognize the segregation of people into homelands and thus SouthAfrica was suspended from international organisations. Apart from that small groups were formed to help fight against it, which led to uprisings in the country.
Apartheid sparked significant internal resistance and violence as well as a long arms and...

Apartheid was developed after World War II by the Afrikaner- dominated National Party. By definition Apartheid is a system of racialsegregation. The National Party (NP) governments enforced Apartheid, through legislation, in SouthAfrica from 1948 to 1994. This new legislation classified inhabitants into four racial groups: black, white, coloured and Indian. (The Indian and coloured groups were further divided into several sub-classifications.) Through the Apartheid policy, “the government segregated education, medical care, beaches, and other public services, and provided black people with services inferior to those of white people.”
In addition, “the state passed laws which paved the way for Grand Apartheid, which was centered on separating races on a large scale, by compelling people to live in separate places defined by race.” The first grand apartheidlaw was the Population Registration Act of 1950. The population Registration Act formalized racial classification by issuing all people over the age of 18 an ID card specifying their racial group. The second major law passed was the Group Act of 1950. Until this law was passed, most settlements had people of different races living side by side. “This act put an end to diverse areas...

...The Origins of The Apartheid in SouthAfricaApartheid represents a mordant period in the history of SouthAfrica. At this time the policy of segregation and political and economic discriminating against non-European groups in The Republic of SouthAfrica was the norm. The Afrikaners are a South African people of Dutch or French Huguenot descent. In 1998, 2.7 million Afrikaners inhabited SouthAfrica, consisting of about 56% of the white population. Their language is Afrikaans, a derivative of Dutch. The Nationalist party of SouthAfrica was founded in 1914 by James Barry Munnik Hertzog to protect and promote the interests of Afrikaners against what were considered the pro-British policies of the South African party, led by Louis Botha and Jan Smuts. On May 26, 1948, the Nationalists reigned victorious. They won the parliamentary elections and gained control of the South African government, despite the fact that they constituted no more than 12% of the population. The party, under new Premier Dr. Daniel F. Malan, began taking steps toward implementing apartheid, the political policy of racial separation.
Over the next several decades, they consolidated their power. The National Party used its control of the...

...Apartheid In SouthAfricaAPARTHEIDApartheid is the political policy of racialsegregation. In Afrikaans, it
means apartness, and it was pioneered in 1948 by the South African National
Party when it came to power.
Not only did apartheid separate
whites from non-whites, it also segregated
the Blacks (Africans) from the Coloureds (Indians, Asians).
All things such as jobs, schools, railway stations, beaches, park benches,
public toilets and even parliament.
Apartheid also prevented blacks from living in white areas. This brought
about the hated "pass laws". These laws required any non-white to carry a pass
on him or her. Unless it was stamped on their pass, they were not allowed to
stay in a white area for more than 72 hours.
Despite the fact that the whites only make up just over 14% of the
population, they own 86.3% of the land. However, it must be said that the
Afrikaaners are entitled to the Orange Free State and Transvaal as they were
first to use it after the Great Trek of 1836.
The average South African White earns eight times as much as the average
black man. Coloureds earn three times as much as black while colords earn well
over half of what whites earn.
During Apartheid, media censorship was at an all time high. People...

Apartheid represents a mordant period in the history of SouthAfrica, when the policy of segregation and political and economic discriminating against non-European groups in the Republic of SouthAfrica. The purpose is to educate the entire community not only to act against apartheid now, but to learn from the struggle against apartheid in order to help build a world in which people of diverse backgrounds live harmoniously in equality. It represents a mordant period in the history of SouthAfrica. An entire community has been gutted, and the innards laid out to view.

Apartheid legislation in SouthAfrica
National Party leaders argued that SouthAfrica did not comprise a single nation, but was made up of four distinct racial groups: white, black, colored, and Indian. These groups were split further into thirteen nations or racial federations. White people encompassed the English and Afrikaans language groups; the black populace was divided into ten such groups.
The state passed laws which paved the way for "grand apartheid", which was centered on separating races on a large scale, by compelling people to live in separate places defined by race (This strategy was in part adopted from "left-over" British rule that separated different racial groups after they took control of the Boer republics in the Anglo-Boer war. This created the so called black only "townships" or "locations" where blacks were relocated in their own towns). In addition, "petty apartheid" laws were passed. The principal apartheidlaws were as follows:
The first grand apartheidlaw was the Population Registration Act of 1950, which formalized racial classification and introduced an identity card for all persons over the age of eighteen, specifying their racial group. Official teams or Boards were...

...The History of Apartheid in SouthAfricaApartheid was a system employed by the dominantly white government that held the people of Africa apart for over half a century, and is only now being uplifted. It literally means &#8216;apartness&#8217;, and that states a lot about the system itself. The basis of it was to classify all the different people of Africa into races - of which there were four basic ones: White (European and Caucasian), Black (any native African), Indian (Pakistani and Indian) and Coloured (A mix of any of the above). Furthermore, these were sub-divided even more.
Apartheid officially came into use in 1948, when the National Party came into power, by a slim margin, but the history of discrimination goes much further back than that, to the beginning of the European settlement of SouthAfrica in the 1600&#8217;s. The East India Trading Company set up a post at Cape of Good Hope to supply passing ships with fruits, vegetables and meat. The post was not meant to be a settlement, but those posted there built homes, cultivated crops, and got &#8216;settled in&#8217;.
The natives of the are understandably disliked strangers invading their land. The East India Company tried to keep the tension at a minimum, and limited the amount of land the settlers could use and the amount of crops they could grow. The amount grown was...
